The hay crop throughout the United

FARMERS have an idea that no honest
person lives in city. They believe re-
lgiously in the depravity of lawyers and
justices of the peace. A farmer lately
came near getting into trouble by an at
tempt to bride justice-of-the-peace in
this city. He was a complainant in
case and tried to get the ear of the court
IN private to give his side of the case
The justice carefully avoided him and so
the litigant thought he would use a more
convincing argument. Extending his
hand to bid the justice good-by he drop
ped a $50 gold piece into his hand which
the justice allowed to drop on the side

severe lecture and evidently thinks now
1t is not so easy to corrupt people as he
believed.

Dunbar, were quite seriously, and it was
thought for a time fatally injured, last
week in Liberty. They were drawing In
hay, using young team of horses. The
team became frightened while going

the hay against the fence. William who

bruised and several cuts in his head
His brother Michael fell off the load and

ST. LOUIS, February 23.-Late last night
a fatal quarrel resulting from bad feeling
engendered during the LaClede gas
works strike last summer occurred in
North st. Louis between Samuel Nc
GregOr and John Mcclure. The former
remained at his post when others of the
employees of the gas company struck, and
for this reason incurred the hatred Of
Mcclure. Since then they have been on
the worst possible terms, and when they
met in saloon at North st. Louis last
night they renewed the old quarrel, dur
ing which Mcclure shot McGregor
through the head, killing him almost
instantly. The murderer was arrested.

REVIEW.

New YORK. February 23.-The outcome
of the German elections and the improve
ment in all the foreign markets created
decidedly firmer opening, but prices did not
hold, free selling in Reading being the
detrimental feature. Later on prices became
steadier, and if there was any outside specu-
lation we would probably have q higher
market. The elements on which the bear
party have based their sales are largely re
moved, and the reports Of the earnings OF
such roads as represent the larger interests
are good beyond any expectation.
The market became strong at the end OF
the dav and closed steady. The outlook for
tomorrow points towards higher values.

TIE ASTOR LIBRARY.

The Astor library was founded by the elder
John jacob Astor grandfather of John jacob
Astor1. who died in lS4S, leaving behind him
what was in those days considered untold
wealth. His wiz contained codicil appro-
prating 100000 for the establishment OF a
free library in New York city. Joseph e.
Cogswcll IL d., was the first superintendent
of the library. The building, as it now stands,
is really three times its original size, the second
section having been built by William b.
Astor. the son of the founder, and the third
section by the present John Jacob Astor The
library contains nearly c50,0 900 volumes, and
has cost the Astor family up to date very
much more than 81 900 900
Another amusing pnase OF ciuo IRE Is tha
comical tendencies or some in chipping to-
gether and ordering meals. The figuring OF
these TO reduce their expenses border on the
absurd. The miser is, of course, not found in
the club. The spendthrift generally runs his
limit and gets posted. The lesson does him
good. II he is incorrigible he is soon dropped
for non payment. The uninitiated either be-
lieye the club TO be a resort Of riotous living
or a slow and dull resort, attractive only be-
caase it is exclusive; but 1t is neither-a little
